Hotel 1000 Review

Hotel 1000, a premier luxury destination for business or leisure, opened its doors on June 26, 2006 in the heart of downtown Seattle at First & Madison. In addition to be convenient to everything in Seattle, Hotel 1000 provides a distinctive luxury resort in downtown complete with a Golf Club and Spaahh.

Hotel 1000 is distinctive in many ways, starting with the innovative and useful technology, which includes VoIP phones on a fully-converged network – make free local and domestic long distance calls or check your flight reservations through the browser on the phone. Relax in a deep pedestal soaking tub that fills from ceiling or catch a movie on the 40-inch HD flatscreen with 5.1 virtual surround sound.

Hotel 1000 Location

Hotel 1000 boasts a desirable location close to everything in Seattle (across from the Alexis Hotel). Most of Seattle is within walking distance from the waterfront to Pike Place Market and Pioneer Square. Listing nearby attractions would be impossible with the entire city conveniently close including restaurants, shopping, art and entertainment, and local attractions.

Rooms facing First Avenue have spectacular views of Elliot Bay, the ferry landing, and the Olympic Mountains. Mount Rainier, Safeco Field, and Qwest Field are visible to the South. Rooms on the corner of First & Madison get the best of both worlds with metropolitan atmosphere and beautiful scenic views of the water and mountains.

BOKA at Hotel 1000

BOKA serves as lounge, bar and restaurant adjacent to the Hotel 1000 lobby. The contemporary, sleek design gives BOKA a distinctly modern feel. General Manager and Sommelier Marc Papineau runs the front of the house masterfully, while Chef Brian Erskine puts forth an urban American menu. A Belltown crowd fills the bar for both happy hours (3pm-6pm & 10pm-midnight).

Spaahh at Hotel 1000

Spaahh, located on the basement floor of Hotel 1000, provides a refuge of relaxation for business travelers and urban warriors. Spaahh looks and feels like an upscale New York Spa with a friendly Seattle staff. Spaahh offers a full treatment menu including couples treatments featuring a special men’s treatment menu as well as a weekday happy hour menu from 11:30am to 2:30pm of abbreviated, discounted versions of their signature treatments.

Or get to work at your desk with desktop power outlets, ample lighting, high-speed internet (wired or wireless), and the amazingly useful VoIP telephone.

The phone allows you to check flight information, view the weather anywhere in the world, summon your car from valet, and make complimentary local and domestic calls.

Another button alerts housekeeping directly and immediately that your room needs to be made up, and infrared sensors alert staff to occupied rooms to avoid unwanted interruptions.
